Timing, Safety, and Tips: Complete Newborn Photography Guide

Ideal Timing for Newborn Photoshoots

Normally, most of the clients contact us while they still have some time left to welcome their little one into the world. To be honest, it's the perfect time if you are planning for a photoshoot too. The good thing here is that it gives us a chance to reserve your slot around your due date and gets everything ready with care. After your baby arrives, the perfect time period for your newborn's photography is generally within the first few weeks. During these early days:
  • Babies tend to sleep for longer hours in the initial days of their birth
  • Being bundled up and cozy is their favourite thing to do
  • As compared to adults, the infants tend to have delicate facial and bodily features
However, every baby has its own comfort level to adjust, and it is completely alright. No matter if your baby is 5-18 days old, you are free to visit us to plan your most overjoyed shoot of life.

Safety Measures to Expect from Us for Your Baby's First Photoshoot

After working successfully with several parents like you, we now completely understand your concern. So you just have to put your confidence upon us and trust our words, you won't regret ever. Every step in a LensTeasers newborn session is centred around your baby's comfort:
  • Your baby must feel comfortable and secured first, poses might wait.
  • Maybe your little one might not be in a mood — no worries, we adjust accordingly.
  • The temperature of the shooting location is kept under warm lights just to keep your babies cozy
  • Proper hygiene is maintained by washing all the Props, mats, plushies daily
